E-mail from the world

Hi Jorge,

I´m writing this email from Dominican Republic. The weather is really hot, it´s fantastic. But when it rains, it rains a lot. My family and I are visiting many places to remember our country, we also went to the capital and other towns, pool and beach. The beach is beautiful, crystal clear because it is so clean.
It´s very beautiful and I love to be with my family. I would like you were with me.

You know that a year ago that we did not come, so now we have to enjoy because we do not know when we come back.
We caught a plane from Noain to Madrid and other from Madrid to the capital of Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo.

So for I´ve really enjoyed the people and haven´t had any bad experiences.
Tonight we´re staying at my aunt's with my two cousins and my uncle in my city, Bonao.

Tomorrow we're going to visit the family of my parents, because you haven't seen them, I am very excited because I'm going to see a cousin that I love, I'm eating a lot there and.at night we'll go to a well-known nightclub.

Well I have to go because I need to sleep because tomorrow I've got a day and a long night.
I hope you´re well,Jorge, I´ll write again soon.

Hi Alberto

How are you? As you know, I´m in New York. I arrived here last weekend after an exhausting flight from Madrid´s airport. The city is terrific, but the weather is being very bad. The sights of New York snowed, from the Empire State Building are incredible. The Liberty statue is also very beautiful with this weather. But the airplane trip was terrorific, because there was a huge snow storm before arriving U.S.A. You know, I was afraid of an airplanes´s accident.

I´ve been in the central bussiness district and in the Rockefeller square. I´ve walked a lot this two days and I´ve taken the underground too. I was very enthusiastic of taking it, because I took it for first time.

I´m here for two more weeks and in this time I want to go to some museums, if I can I´ll go to the Natural History Museum. Tomorrow I´m going to the train station and I go to Washington. The train is not a common way of transport here, but it is a easy and cheap way to move.

See you soon,
Carlos

SUBJECT: Hi (from France)


Hi Dan!!!
I´m writing this email from France. The weather is really cold at the moment but I really like it here because France is very interesting . We´re driving around the country by bus and we´re stopping in different places.

We´ve just arrived here in Paris. In the last few days we´ve driven through any other different places.We´ve driven through the Triumphal Arch.
I really hate the food because the food isn´t better than the Spanish food.
We´ve had some bad experiences.
Tonight we´re staying in a big hotel near the centre and there were some strong winds.
Tomorrow we´re going to visit the Eiffel Tower and we´re going to travel by ship along the Sena river.
It should be fun.
I hope you´re well, Dan.
See you soon.

Students' recipes

I am going to do an omelette of potato with the help of my mother
The ingredients are ( number of people ??):
-potatoes (6 or 7 depends on how many people you cook for)
-eggs(5 o 6 depend)
-some milk
-salt

First, peel the potatoes and put a frying pan on the fire. We hope that it is done well. While the potatoes are frying is done, crack the eggs in a bowl.
Add salt while you whisk the eggs. Later mix the potatoes with the eggs in the bowl and then add more salt if necessary and some milk.
Then pour the mixture in the frying pan and wait for five minutes as it's done and use a lid to turn the omelette over. Leave for five more minutes and finally try and serve it hot.

-400gr of minced meat

We peel and chop the garlics.

In a bowl we crack the egg and half of the chopped garlics, whisk the ingredients in order to mix them quite perfectly.

We add the minced meat, the breadcrumbs, half of the glass of wine and the parsley. Then, stir everything until completely mixed and obtaining a mass.

Later, cut the chalotas for the sauce .Put the chalota in a frying pan with oil and a leaf of laurel and the rest of the garlic, add the remaining wine and stir. Beat the mixture in an electric mixer.

Then form the meatballs and roll it in flour. In a frying with oil we fry the meatballs and when they are done, add the previous sauce. We cover the meatballs in order that they take the sauce completely and finally serve the dish hot.
